Mr. Speaker, the Reform Party recently mailed brochures on employment insurance to individuals and businesses in my riding of Mississauga West. I remind the Reform Party of the old adage you gotta fish where the fish are.
In the last election the Reform candidate in my riding got a whopping 18.3% of the vote. That may be slightly better than Reform's current standing in the national polls but it is a far cry from the 61.2% of my constituents who voted Liberal. It does not appear to me that many Mississaugans would be interested in being on Reform's mailing list. The real galling part is that Reform has the audacity to title its brochure “Whose money is it anyway?”
Despite the fact that the brochure warns the government not to misuse taxpayer dollars, the Reform Party used taxpayer dollars to produce it and to mail it out. Whose money is it anyway? It is the taxpayers' money and the citizens of Mississauga West—
